This insufferably catchy and immaculately well done mashup.

I’ve mentioned Sarah McKenzie here before; I keep listening to her songs because I always want to find new music in the old-fashioned style of the “Great American Songbook” TM standards I love, and she self-consciously writes in that style. But I don’t think I’m as impressed with her work as I thought was. (I think I was just pleasantly surprised by finding a modern songwriter with that style.) She needs to work on her lyric-writing; there’s no excuse for lines as banal asHate to say it, but that’s almost as bad as a Leslie Bricusse lyric. Most of her lyrics aren’t as bad as that quatrain (from “Love Me or Leave Me”), but I keep getting the sense of a gifted composer who isn’t a great lyricist. Even one of her best songs, “Paris in the Rain,” has false rhymes ( never/ weather, kiss/ Par-ISS) and some very strained phrasings (“ It was the rain that fell / That did cast the spell”—the did is obviously there just to fill out the meter). As gifted a composer as she is, her music has problems as well. It can be too repetitive, for one thing: She often chooses to repeat melodic phrases multiple times instead of developing them, and too few of her songs have bridges distinct enough to relieve the monotony of the refrains (Jerome Kern wisely called refrains “burthens”). That all sounds so negative about a songwriter I once liked a lot, so I’ll end on a note of praise. Her best song is “Onwards and Upwards.” It’s almost definitely based on a musical phrase in Harold Arlen’s “It’s Only a Paper Moon,” but it develops that phrase into a different-sounding song, with a lyric that sounds vaguely Dorothy Fields-ian. The bridge is better than her usual, and the “rover, you’d better listen to me” phrase is a surprising extension of that bridge. But all in all I think McKenzie needs a songwriting partner—maybe a professional lyricist—to bounce ideas off and to encourage her to vary up her music. She has so much talent—but needs to refine it.

Black Thought-Cheat Codes....Im a big Roots fan so any solo Black Thought venture Im all in for.
Also find myself seeking out the Rings of Power soundtrack since I started the show...the Khazad-dum song being my favorite.

Listening to that^ song is dangerous, as you run the risk of getting it stuck in your head on repeat.
